I actually like a lot of classic rock (yes even Hotel California, that solo kicks ass) but there is a lot of bad classic rock too. What do you think the worst classic rock song is? What is the most overrated band or artist? I think Supertramp is mid at best, but Bob Seeger is truly dreadful.
AC/DC? trash. Aerosmith? disgusting. this one's low-hanging fruit but obviously KISS sucks ass. oh and Guns N' Roses. I can't name a single Mötley Crüe song but I can't imagine they're any good
actually all of them are bad except for Waters-era Pink Floyd
I was in rehab with Steven Tyler. At the time Applebees was using Sweet Emotion in an ad. When I bumped into him in the chow line I was like "holy shit, you're the guy from the Applebees commercial!" He didn't think it was as funny as I did and refused to talk to me for the next two weeks.
Lmfao you rule, I bet he still thinks about that and gets mad
The funniest part was that right before he checked himself in, he tried to pivot to country music. The song was called Red White and You or some dumb shit. I have a feeling it didn't go well.
Dr. Feelgood is the only song of theirs I still listen to.

but hey, at least we still have White Snake
There's a band I listened to in high school with a really good song (not really rock though) that heavily sampled the opening riff from Hell's Bells. AC/DC grinds my gears in general, but Hell's Bells still hits for me. I'm like 50/50 on whether I'd still have any appreciation for the song if I hadn't heard that great pseudo-cover.
Isn't Aerosmith a one-hit-wonder? I actually do think Dream On is a good song, but I don't think I've ever heard a single other thing they've done.
“Love in an Elevator,” “Water Song/Janie’s Got a Gun,” the song from Armageddon, the one with Run DMC, “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” “Toys in the Attic,” “Pink,” “Sweet Emotion” all had to have at least hit gold/top 40 given how many times I’ve heard them played ad nauseam during various summer and from teenagers’ bedrooms over the course of my life. Also they have a roller coaster at Disney World.
Please teach me your secret ninja wizard ways of going through life without hearing any Aerosmith.
Well for me it's pretty simple, don't have friends and don't have social hobbies in real life. Nobody's blasting any aerosmith at you in the grocery store or in a video game, and nobody's blasting aerosmith at you while you go for a walk or plant tomatoes or read a book.
I'm sure I've heard an aerosmith song or two but probably no more than that, and definitely couldn't identify even one.
Haha! You wanna know how bad off I am about this (and probably my whole generation)? As soon as you mentioned “video game” I immediately remembered Revolution X, the Aerosmith video game where you went from place to place shooting fascist super cops while being blasted with Aerosmith music as you save band members and “music and freedom as a whole.” It was at every skate rink and pizza joint. Help I’m drowning!
Dude Looks Like a Lady is horrific and I hate hearing that come on the radio but I had no idea it was Aerosmith. I've heard Jamie's Got a Gun too but not enough to have a reaction, also did not know that was them. I might recognize the others too but not by name and I'm now thinking maybe I'll keep it that way. Dream On is still pretty good though.
Well, we’re all blessed with there not being anymore song from them now that Steve Tyler’s vocal cords exploded on stage a few weeks ago.
Sweet Child o' Mine is great though.
An ex of mine asked me when we were still together that if we broke up for me to show up to her funeral riding a hog and play that on a stereo outside her service. She probably forgot she told me that but I'm gonna do it.
calling your girlfriend your "sweet child" is fucking weird, I don't like that at all
edit: to be clear I mean Axl Rose not you
No worries. I called her "bitter baby".
